Hi! I’m Alyssa, and I’ve worked with children for several years in both professional and caregiving settings. I’ve been a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) for the past two years and have a total of six years of experience supporting children with special needs. I have also worked at a local summer camp for specials needs children in Richardson. I’m CPR certified and Safety Care trained, and creating a safe, calm, nurturing and fun environment is always my top priority. I genuinely love connecting with kids, learning their personalities, and helping them feel comfortable and cared for. I am looking to connect with a few families for babysitting in the afternoons after 3pm and on weekends, and I’d love to be a reliable, trusted support for your family 🤍
“Alyssa was amazing with our 4 year old son - he had so much fun with her! She was on time, professional, and did a great job of keeping him entertained. We’re still working on potty training him, and Alyssa was more than willing to help with that as well. Her RTB background is an added bonus since our son is on the spectrum. We will definitely hire her again.”
Hello! I'm a Richardson native looking to help local families while earning a little extra income. I have a bachelor's degree from the University of Texas at Dallas and several years of experience working with children of all ages including infants through my time as a dance instructor. I'm happy to provide engaging, attentive care in your home, whether that means playing games, helping with homework, reading stories, or keeping little ones entertained. With your permission, I'm also happy to take children to a nearby park for some outdoor fun. I was recently married and have a dog and two cats, so I'm very comfortable around pets. I'm dependable, patient, and understand how important it is for parents to know their children are in caring and responsible hands. I look forward to meeting your family! Please note I do have an 8 am to 5 pm day job, so I will only be able to accommodate outside of these hours. A quick note about my reviews: You might notice I only have one review, and it's a few years old. That's because I took a break from babysitting while focusing on building my career after college. Rest assured, I've babysat for far more families than my profile suggests. The happy kids and relieved parents just weren't in the habit of leaving online reviews back then. 😊 I'm excited to be back and look forward to earning many more five-star reviews!
“Kelley arrived before time and was really friendly. She walked my son to the park and he had a great time. I highly recommend her. Thank you Kelley!”
Hi! I’m a responsible and energetic caregiver with over 5 years of experience in both childcare and pet sitting. I love creating a fun, safe environment for kids through creative play and activities, and I am equally passionate about keeping furry friends happy and well-exercised. Whether it’s helping with homework, preparing light meals, or going for long walks with your dog, I pride myself on being reliable and attentive to every family's unique needs. I look forward to meeting your family!
Hi! My name is gwennyth and i'm a college student here in Dallas. I have 2 dogs of my own and grew up with little brothers so I'm super familiar with both! Child care: Open to all age ranges; I love arts and crafts and can help with homework/tutoring. I myself like to keep myself busy with stimulating games or arts and crafts. Pet care: Open to all breeds and sizes! My personal babies are a german shepard (3.5yo) and frenchie (1.5yo) so i'm well equipped. Household: Open to running errands, cleaning, organizing and very flexible with your needs. While I do offer to clean, that is not my primary job/interest so if that is something you're interested in, i'd appreciate if the supplies were available from you :)
Hello my name is Tyanni. I have 9years experience with children as well as all animals. I love the outdoors and doing arts and crafts. I would love to help you anyway I can. I’m excited to hear from you.

"We were incredibly grateful that Maya was able to help us out with a last-minute childcare emergency. She matched our 9-year-old's energy with arts & crafts, some quiet reading, and a walk around the neighborhood. We'd have Maya back in a heartbeat!"
Hillary S., parent
"We used Tania for a last minute emergency. She responded very quickly. My daughter seemed to enjoy herself. My son napped most of the time. I enjoyed how she kept me updated by text."
